Not so much Brendan Nelson, but Steve McQueen, Uma Thurman, Dennis Hopper, even Carrie Anne Moss - no matter what your particular take on riding a motorcycle, it's more types of cool than you could poke a hipster at.
In pursuit of that vision, you should spend two days with a mixed bag of bogans and mid-life crises feeling scared, awkward and looking like a dick learning to ride at Aegis. Because, baby steps, this is the best way to go from pedestrian to road menace.
And road menace is the not an exaggeration, because despite the uniforme xcellence of the instructors, the idea of being let loose in the traffic of, say, Coronation Drive, after two days in a car park near Logan doing no more than about 25 kilometres an hour is, well, ludicrous.
So, back streets. And maybe an intermediate course some time soon. In the meantime, behold and beware my L plates.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
